Evo brake upgrade

[williams]

Going to fit the evo calipers and clio discs to my R. Anyone know if the single piston evo4 calipers are the same as the 3s? As ive heard its only up to 3 you can use?

evo 4 calipers are different, its the 2 pot pistons you need

so the evo 4 twin pistons are no good then? i'll keep my eye open for 3s then, unless i find some 4 pots cheap.

the calipers in the picture are from an evo 2. i think its evo 2 and 3 that fit.

whats the difference between 3 and 4 calipers? they are both 2 piston and take the same pad. hte disc seems to have 1mm difference in the offset, so maybe slightly different spacers? i have getting them for £21 posted so worth a try.

evo4 uses different mounting centres for the caliper... its the same caliper other than that.

Evo 123 are the ones to get.

Legnum vr4 97 have the same evo4 calipers and discs with the same mounting centre as the evo 123. But these are hard/impossible to find a disc to suit it.

Yep, evo 2 or 3 calipers, drill out your mounting hole slightly, space the disc out approx 3mm and your sorted.

Original lones fit too
